If you stand in the campsite near the foundation of the old, burned-out ablution block and look straight up the hill towards the high sandstone faces of the Slag Crag, then Comic Rock is the large boulder directly ahead of you, about half way up the hill towards the Slag Crag. To get there head straight up the hill aiming for a point about 10m to the right of the boulder. When you are at the same height as the boulder, turn left and walk through a hole in the fence to reach the front of the rock. The last three routes listed below are all facing the camp on the downhill side of the block. The first three routes are around the corner to the left of this. The routes were located, climbed and bolted by Gavin Peckham on 17 July 2005 as a part of an MCSA-KZN project to establish more routes in the lower grades for beginners.
